valves and has for an object the provision.

of a valve especially adapted for dispensing soda andother carbonated water. p a

An object of the invention is the provision of a valve of this type having aplurality of discharge passages of different diameters, one of which is designed to dispense a liquid under greater pressure than the other, due to its restricted size, while both passages are arranged to be controlled by a single valve member.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a novel form of valve member which is especially adapted for controlling the discharge passages and preventing the escape of liquid when the valve is in closed position, the construction being such as to.

permit of the convenient removal of the valv member for the purpose of replacing the valve packing.

With the above and otherobjects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illus trated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figural is a side elevation of a valve em- ,bodying the present invention.

Figure 2 is a. front elevation of the same.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure a is a section on the line 4-4 of v Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a detail view of the valve member. l

Figure 6 is a similar view of the packing sleeve. 7 7

Figure 7 is a detail view of the cap.

Referring in detail to the drawings,

wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a body or casing, which is provided with a horizontally arranged inlet passage 11 having one end threaded as shown at 12 for engagement with a supply pipe.

The inlet passage 11 is provided with a right angular extension 13, in which is located a soda fountain valves. of the operating handle will fully close the v v 7 seat 14:, the latter being positioned at the juncture of the passage 13, and a relatively large bore 15.

Commun cating with this bore are vert cally disposed "discharge passages 16 and 17,

the former beingof relatively small diam-1 etern The passages 16 and 17 are disposed in parallelism and extend downwardly through a discharge spout 18 which depends from the top or casing-1 0. v

()perating within the bore 15 is a valve member 19, the latter includingan exteriorly threaded portion 20-which engages threads" provided upon the interior of the bore 15'. Extending from the threaded portion 20 is a reduced cylindrical portion .21, the latter being surrounded by a packing sleeve 22 whose inner end abuts a shoulder 23 formed at the juncture of the threaded andreduced portions 20 and 21 respectively. The opposite end of the sleeve- 22 is engaged by a cap 24 which ispositioned to engage the seat 14:. This cap is held in position by a screw 25, which also serves to retain the sleeve 22 upon the valve member. The valve member is provided with a rectangular bore 26 which slidingly receives a valve stem 27, the latter extending through the outer end of'the bore I 15 and having secured thereon one arm 28 of an operating handle. This handle is in the form of a bail and has its opposite arm 29 pivoted upon the top or casing 10 as shown at 30. The handle is further pro vided with a knob 31 for convenience in operation. v

The cap 24 is normally positioned upon the seat 14, to interrupt the flow of'liquid water is discharged through the openingslfi and 17. By moving the operating handle in a reverse direction, the discharge opening 11. may be covered so as to permit liquid to pass out through the opening 11. only, causestream, but with greater force, as is usual. in A further movement valve and cut off the supply of liquid.

The' invention is susceptible of various details of construction'and the right is hereing said liquid to be discharged in a small.

changes in its form, proportions and minor J v l e in reserved to make such changes as properly 7 7 fall within the scope of the appended claims; 7

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. A valve comprising a casing, a horizontally arranged inlet passage therein, vertically disposed spaced parallel discharge passages communicating with the horizontal passage, a valve seat located within the cas ing at the juncture of the inlet and discharge passages, a valve member adapted to engage the seat to close the discharge pas sages, said member being movable in a bore formed in the casing and including an 6X- teriorly threaded portion engageable with threads Within the bore, a reduced portion extending from the threaded portion and providing a shoulder, a packing sleeve surrounding the reduced portion and having one end abutting the shoulder and a seat engaging cap removably secured to the valve and engaging the opposite end of the packing sleeve, a stem removably located within the socket in the valve member and a fastening device extending through the cap and valve member to hold the parts assembled and a pivotally mounted operating handle secured to the stem.

2. A valve comprising a casing, a horizontally arranged inlet passage therein, a horizontally arranged valve chamber communicating with the inner end of the inlet passage and disposed at a right angle thereto, spaced parallel vertically disposed discharge passages communicating with the valve chamber adjacent the inlet passage, a valve seat located at the inner end of the valve chamber between the discharge passages and inlet passage, a valve member operating Within the valve chamber over the inner ends of the spaced parallel discharge passages against said seat ZIIIClIHSZl-HS whereby the valve member may be operated.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
